forcing myself into some organization on this.

it's going to be useless without it. whatever.
i might also be screwing up python conventions,
but i'll do some reading to try and minimize
that.
forgot to add tester.py to the commit. oops.
nothing works what the hell

basically, when there is an empty recieving buffer
when the script is run, 'sin.inWaiting()' returns 0
so that nothing actually gets written to the file
and gnuplot yells at me.

everything works alright (i guess) when there is something
in the buffer before the script is run.
well, it works now. seems like serial.inWaiting() was the thing that hung. hell if i know why
that todo isn't going to get updated who am i kidding
